KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- In the Space Station Processing
Facility, as part of the Crew Equipment Interface Test, STS-112
Commander Jeffrey Ashby looks over the S1 Integrated Truss Structure,
part of the payload for the mission to the International Space
Station. The S1 truss is the first starboard (right-side) truss
segment, whose main job is providing structural support for the
orbiting research facility's radiator panels that cool the Space
Station's complex power system. The S1 truss segment also will house
communications systems, external experiment positions and other
subsystems. The S1 truss will be attached to the S0 truss. Launch of
STS-112 is scheduled for Aug. 22, 2002.
